===A Tale of Wicker-Fire===
In 876, Gwilim travelled Glowecestre under the guise of a fellow Christian monk and joined in the festivities along Cynon, Tewdwr, and the [[Vikings|Viking]] [[Eivor Varinsdottir]]. After Cynon left the group and Eivor and Tewdwr were left to talk, Gwilim gave both Eivor and Tewdwr a stronger drink within their discussion. From this drink, Eivor and Tewdwr became woozy and uncoordinated and later dropped unconscious at Tewdwr's cottage.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' − [[The First Night of Samhain]]</ref>
Gwilim appeared under the guise of a fellow Christian monk and joined in the festivities along Cynon, Tewdwr, and [[Vikings|Viking]] [[shieldmaiden]] [[Eivor Varinsdottir]]. After Cynon left the group, Eivor and Tewdwr were left to talk as Tewdwr began apologizing for his blunt insults from earlier. While they were conversing and drinking, Gwilim gave both Eivor and Tewdwr a stronger drink within their discussion. From this drink, Eivor and Tewdwr became woozy and uncoordinated. After a while, Tewdwr and Eivor dropped unconscious at Tewdwr's cottage.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' − [[The First Night of Samhain]]</ref>


Eivor woke up to see a mess within the house and Tewdwr's guard deceased. Despite being hungover, Eivor investigated and found Gwilim's pouch at the crime scene. Eivor deduced that Gwilim was present and Tewdwr's disappearance might be Gwilim's doing. Upon leaving, Eivor was confronted by Cynon, who accused her of killing Tewdwr. As a wanted person, Eivor escaped their persecution and found [[Modron]] to help her. Giving Modron Gwilim's pouch, Eivor was told that the pouch contained ingredients needed for a deep sleep. With the advice of her daughter, [[Gwenydd]], Modron told Eivor to seek out [[Halewyn]] for more information on Gwilim's pouch.<ref name="CluesandRiddles">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' − [[Clues and Riddles]]</ref>

Arriving at [[Druid's Cottage]], Eivor, masked as the [[Mari Lwyd]], knocked on his door for help on Gwilim's pouch.

Eivor successfully proved herself to be a light spirit and then asked Halewyn to identify anything about Gwilim's pouch.

Biography[edit | edit source]

Not much is known about Gwilim, however Gwilim was hired to masquerade as a fellow monk under the plan to get rid of Tewdwr as successor to the shire's ealdorman, Cynon.[1]

In 876, Gwilim travelled Glowecestre under the guise of a fellow Christian monk and joined in the festivities along Cynon, Tewdwr, and the Viking Eivor Varinsdottir. After Cynon left the group and Eivor and Tewdwr were left to talk, Gwilim gave both Eivor and Tewdwr a stronger drink within their discussion. From this drink, Eivor and Tewdwr became woozy and uncoordinated and later dropped unconscious at Tewdwr's cottage.[2]

By his hand, Gwilim made sure that Eivor woke up, only to be unjustly framed for the apparent crime of murder of Tewdwr and his guards.[3] After meeting and discussing with Modron about Halewyn's information, Gwilim's location was determined by Eivor, who was told that Cudd Lladron is the Welsh name for Thieves' Warren. Upon her arrival, Gwilim was seen by Eivor as he was standing over Tewdwr and two other prisoners.[1]

Under Eivor's threat, Gwilim admitted to being to be hired to drug and kill Tewdwr under Cynon's orders. However, Gwilim disclosed to keep Tewdwr alive for more ransom money but ultimately stated that Tewdwr was good company. Yet, as Tewdwr was still injured, Gwilim was pushed out of the way as Eivor carried Tewdwr out of the stronghold.[1]
